Hello, I have fixed compilation errors. The lenovo ThinkBook 14 G3 ACL notebook bios reports very small brightness value, 3 eg.

Do you have a matching bug report with more information included?

Some relevant details I think we need:
kernel version
laptop model
BIOS version
if it's the latest BIOS
some sample numbers that this new warning/behavior catches
acpidump

At least as described this sounds like a BIOS bug.
